The "City of Floating Sounds," recently staged in the neighborhood surrounding China's National Centre for the Performing Arts (NCPA) in Beijing, redefines the concert experience through an innovative fusion of technology, urban exploration, and participatory performance. Composer Huang Ruo, whose "distinctive style" has been celebrated by the New York Times, invites audiences to engage with the music via a custom mobile app. This interactive guide leads listeners on a journey through the city, where they encounter unique sonic fragments of the composition, creating an immersive and dynamic listening experience.
A cornerstone of the UK's classical music scene, the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra premiered Huang Ruo's "City of Floating Sounds" last year.
